blackish.

The ¢ has the head black, deeply punctured, hirsute, man- 
dibles red in the centre, with their base and apex piceous. 
Thorax black, punctured, shining, covered with a dense gri- 
seous pubescence; the metathorax rugose, with a smooth space 
at its base of the form of an isosceles triangle, with the sides a 
little rounded, and inclosed by an elevated ridge; tegule 
piceous, wings fuscous, and their nervures rufo-piceous. 
Abdomen with scattered punctures, and shining, covered with 
long griseous hair, having a band on the margins of the second 
and third segments formed by a short grey pubescence. 
@ in the Cab. of Brit. Mus. 
+4+ The female was in the cabinet of Mr. Stephens, but 
by some accident he has exchanged it away. I have given 
a description of it, which, as it is not made from the insect 
itself, but compiled from the works of Olivier and Latreille, 
I have inserted in inverted commas, to indicate that it is 
not made by myself from a British specimen. It is upon 
the authority of Latreille that I have placed them to- 
gether, although the male differs so widely from the female. 
It is doubtlessly correct, for both are found in great 
numbers upon the same spots in France, where no other 
species occur, and, as above shown, both have been found 
in England.
